I suffer from severe anxiety and low mood and ocd, I have recently overcome my ocd successfully through Cbt which has been hard work, I have tried all ssris for my severe anxiety but all they have done is made me worse, Iv had racing thoughts, music playing in my head constantly On a loop morning TIL night, I have tremors through the anxiety i just feel like I can’t escape my head I need peace, its non stop, my nerves are completely shattered I’m stressed at the slightest things.i can’t handle any kind of noise and everything Seems amplified and too loud, I really can’t cope anymore, I’m worried that my previous ocd was masking some other disorder underneath that Iv never realised I had? Any advice? Just started escitalopram and this is doing exactly the same thing as the rest have.

I don’t have any advice unfortunately, but I’m sorry for your pain and suffering.

I’m so sorry you’re suffering. I’m not a doctor, but there’s a possibility you’re experiencing a manic phase brought on by the particular med they have you on or any number of other things. I usually have those symptoms when I am overly stressed and haven’t enough sleep for a few days. Hope you feel better soon!!

It’s absolutely awful, my doctor has wrote my symptoms down and is consulting a psychiatrist because ssris are just making me worse and always have. I can have snippets of conversations, music in my head. and I feel speeded up. My head feels like a radio station I can’t turn off
